Chile Warehouse

A house like a ship

Burchardplatz 1-2
Hamburg, Hamburg 20095

Designed and built by architect Fritz Höger in 1922-24, this is perhaps the finest of Hamburg's traditional warehouses, known as Kontorhäuser. It is a perfect example of expressionist architecture, made of clinker brick with a sharp point at one end, reminding you of a ship's helm. The elegant facade, the gothic-style arcades and the intricate ceramic decor in the entrance hall all combine to make this one of Hamburg's most impressive buildings.
